Cooktop Cleaning Recommendations
Surface Spill Trays /
Stainless Steel
Igniters / Ceramic
Grill Drip Pan / Stainless Steel
• Acidic and sugar-laden
spills deteriorate the
stainless steel. Remove soil
immediately.
• Abrasive cleaners, used too
vigorously or too often, can
eventually mar the stainless
steel.
• Do not use sharp tool to
scrape the igniter. It is
fragile; if it is damaged the
grill cannot be lit.
• The grate is heavy; use care
when lifting. Place on a
protected surface.
• Blisters, crazing and chips
are common due to the
extreme temperatures and
rapid temperature changes.
• Hot sudsy water; rinse and dry
thoroughly.
• Formula 409 ® or Fantastic ® .
Wipe spray off immediately or
apply to a paper towel first
and then wipe spill.
• Mild Abrasive Cleansers:
Cameo ® , Zud ® , Barkeepers
Friend ® . Liquid cleaners:
Kleen King ® , Siege Stainless
Steel and Aluminum Cleaner.
Apply with care.
• Wright's ® All Purpose Brass
Polish.
• Use a cotton swab
dampened with water,
Formula 409
® or Fantastic ® .
• While the grate is hot (but
the flame is off), dip a brass
grill brush in hot water and
scrub the grate. The steam
created from the hot water
and the abrasive action of
the brush helps loosen the
hard to remove soil.
• Do not clean in a self-
cleaning oven.
• Hot sudsy water; rinse and
dry thoroughly.
• After grease removal, drip
pan may be put into
dishwasher.
